This week is organization week at HA Design Studio. Managing my own design business means I’m constantly juggling a million different things. Between projects for clients, marketing my own business, invoices, proposals, and trying to have a life outside of work, I think it’s fair to say that it’s time to get organized!
I’ve heard of the project management tool, Basecamp a while back but I’ve put off the “daunting” task of organizing my projects up until this week. Now, I’m wondering why I haven’t done it sooner. Basecamp is an amazing tool for so many reasons.
Here are some of my favorite features:
- Basecamp allows you to create project calendars and share them with your clients. This is especially helpful when there are many people working on the same project. Clients will only be able to see the projects that you assign them to.
- You can upload documents associated with a certain project to share with others. This also comes in handy when you’re away from your computer. Just log on to Basecamp from another computer and download the documents.
- Lastly, you can get Basecamp on your iPhone, Android, and Blackberry. I’ve already downloaded the iPhone app!
Here’s what our projects look like on Basecamp.
